No-Bake Nutella Cream Pie Ingredients
Cream cheese: For a tangy taste and creamy texture, use an 8-oz block of cream cheese, softened, for this pie recipe.
Powder sugar: Help sweeten the pie filling by adding 1 cup of powdered sugar.
Nutella: You will need 1 ¼ cups of Nutella, divided, to give this pie a unique and irresistible taste and creaminess.
Whipped topping: Give the pie filling a nice fluffy texture by using 8 oz of whipped topping.
Hazelnuts: For added texture, top the pie with some chopped hazelnuts, if desired.

How to make Nutella No-Bake Cream Pie
Assemble
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of the Nutella until the mixture is smooth. Then gently stir in the whipped topping until combined.
Proceed to transfer the Nutella mixture to the cookie pie crust. The pie looks prettier if it’s not spread smoothly, but instead left with swirls as you’re spreading the mixture on top.
Next, put the remaining ¼ cup of Nutella in a small baggie, then snip a small corner off and drizzle the pie with the Nutella. Sprinkle chopped Hazelnuts around the perimeter of the pie.
Chill
After the pie is complete, top it with a plastic cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Then slice, serve, and enjoy!
Variations of Nutella No-Bake Pies
The Nutella No-Bake Pie is a versatile dessert that can be modified in various ways to suit different tastes. Here are a few variations to try:
Peanut Butter: For a nutty flavor, mix in some peanut butter with the Nutella filling. Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter, depending on your preference.
Caramel Drizzle: For a touch of sweetness, drizzle some caramel sauce over the top of the pie. This will add a new dimension of flavor to the pie.
Fresh Fruit: For a healthier option, top the pie with some fresh fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, or bananas. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dessert.
Mini Pies: For a fun twist, make mini Nutella No-Bake Pies in individual servings. Use small pie crusts or make your own with crushed cookies in a muffin tin.
